The picture is called Armor Factory. So maybe we are allowed to design our ground troops too now.

There has been hints/rumors towards expanding ground combat in the past as well...
That would be awesome.
But it could just be a new wonder with a fancy image.

Armour units,hmmm.I want to hear about the details before I moan about added micromanagement for little benefit to gameplay.4X games have never done a good job with ground combat apart from MOO3.Now if we get a MOO3 type army structure with marine,armour,etc and planet terrain itself having different effects I would be more satisfied.

Since it is real time, ground combat has to be some sort of attack and forget (just like ship combat). But it could be expanded with ground tech, and a few different troop types. For instance, if we get our "minimum troops on colony", it could make sense to have some troops more suited to defense, and others more suited for attacks.

Above all else - retrofitting stations, new weapons, etc - I would like to see one thing more than all else.
Better AI.

Okay, it is time to resume an old argument... an oldy but a goody...
Who would win, the Federation that considers a dunebuggy a major weapons system...
OR
Well 1 picture... [:'(]
Data, if you use an ATTE, you might just get that ale and not sand in your face... [:D]

For the new folks on the forum... this is a friendly old game...
AND it is one that I usually loose... but end up laughing myself silly at someone's joke.

Ok, let me guess. It is a room with glass walls / windows with white curtain on the corner, and plastic toys on the grey carpets [8D]

This one is a toughy...
There is stuff flying overhead otherwise I would have guessed a sports complex...
With the stuff overhead, I would guess maybe a 'Headquarters building' like the U.S. [:)]
